A look at how Alex Sandro could fit into Antonio Conte’s team

Alex Sandro has been a player mentioned with a move to Chelsea for several months now.

It was seen that the Juventus left-back was regarded as Chelsea manager Antonio Conte’s number one target. This is because of the bids that reached £63m, as reported by the Daily Mirror in the summer.
